Chrome: I understand that the lighter (faster but older) kernel of Carolina can not work with new chromium browsers so a surrogate is available. But: most chrome extensions do not work anymore in this version. So I hope that somebody ever will discover a workaround...

This is the deal breaker for me. I simply cannot and will not use outdated browser versions for many reasons, and not getting latest security fixes/updates is one of those reasons. However, I love carolinas looks and its professionalism. I mean, this puppy just screams high class! I just wish we could get some updated libraries so latest chromium can be used. Yes, I imagine I could use a newer firefox on carolina, and I do use firefox often. I wont just abandon chromium either, not when I dont have to. I always keep an eye on this thread in the hopes of updated libraries and a new chromium, never hurts to keep watch.

xstylezx,

The included Firefox 17.0.5-ESR works well and is still maintained, but for how long we don't know.

Yes it would of been nice to have updated libs, but as Carolina is Wary based there will be none.

It's been a pleasure working on Carolina, but even with it's limitations is still very usable. _________________Carolina:Recent Repository AdditionsCreate strikethrough textHERE

I tried to watch TV and discovered mms streams don't play. Does anyone have a solution ?

I'm not able to address your question in the context of Carolina, since I am not using Carolina and have not even been following this thread. But a workaround for playing mms streams (from Firefox) has been to edit the URL and change mms:// into http://, and surprisingly, it always seems to work (for recent versions of Firefox, anyway).

I really love Carolina! Losing Chromium was difficult but Opera works fine as well, and firefox is very acceptable as long as you do not have to update it su much.

TV: XBMC is working smooth! (I watched Nixie Pixel lately at youtube talking about ubuntu 13.04 being so fast even with unity as interface, but many XBMC tv streams do not work on my machine in Ubuntu 13.04 while they do without problems in Carolina!). But there is no Boxee yet for Carolina. I have read somewhere that Boxee offers BBC streams while XBMC does not. If that is the case I would like Boxee added.

search options... I can not get recoll working yet on Carolina. I hope that will be possible soon because recoll is such a great desktop search engine.

It appears that the Boxee application was dropped for Linux, Mac and Windows, it is now a standalone d-link device._________________Carolina:Recent Repository AdditionsCreate strikethrough textHERE

I wonder if the time consuming task of making pets (or portable executable) files which are usable for Carolina can be automated in some way. A portable retroshare for Carolina which works from inside a truecrypt vault looks very useful and secure.[/url]

Just updated both my non-adrive and adrive versions using the PAE rc2-rc3 delta. Absolutely no problems at all. Stripped the leafpad out of my 007rc2 save files before booting it and up it comes, manilla folders and all. Haven't been running 006 or 007 on my non-PAE machines but I'll try that next as I'm gradually shifting gruntwork to 007 from my customized 005s whilst curling my one remaining hair with arch/alpha.

I have just tried Carolina rc3 on an older laptop without pae. Did not work. Machine (Acer travelmate 4500) could not boot with the kernel (but it does boot from Saluki 23!)

I have tried it twice. First with a Carolina 007 rc2 which was converted to rc3 by using the rc2>rc3 delta file

Then with a fresh downloaded 007 rc which was converted to rc3 with the rc>rc3 delta file.

but still no show. Did I do something wrong?

How much ram does your Acer travelmate 4500 have, I tried lina-007rc3-non-pae.iso in virtualbox and it works fine,
I see the travelmate 4500 has 256/512 megs of ram, if it only has 256 then you will get a kernel panic out of memory message._________________Carolina:Recent Repository AdditionsCreate strikethrough textHERE

You didn't say what version of Carolina you were trying. The Acer Travelmate 4500 is non-pae only. I also have the same model and the non-pae version boots without problems on my machine._________________X-slacko-4.3 - X-tahr-2.0 - X-precise-2.4
